  • Transaction date: March 9, 2026; Filing date: March 11, 2026 (timely).
  • Acquisitions: 7,852 shares (award/vesting) and 1,058 shares (MSU payout) — both reported as derivative conversions/grants at $0 purchase price.
  • Withheld/disposed for tax: 1,262.98 shares ($578,483) and 461.29 shares ($211,285); total withheld ≈ 1,724.27 shares ≈ $789,768.

Context

  • These transactions reflect routine vesting/conversion of performance-based awards and MSUs and tax-withholding (not open-market sales). The MSU payout included an above-target payout (173% factor) resulting in more shares than the target; 7,852 performance options also vested based on company performance. Withholdings to cover taxes are common and do not necessarily indicate a change in insider sentiment.
